Advice/ Options and opinions needed.

I have a 1.2x 1.2x 2.0 (meters) tent. I have 2 cooltubes, 6inch fan, carbon filter and silencer.
The tents pole joiners are made from plastic. I don't think they'll be strong enough to hold the filter. What would be the best way to set all of this up? The silencer I don't have yet but should be here within the next few days. Also where should I add the silencer?

Any and all ideas and suggestions welcome/ appreciated.

The cooltubes are very light. I have a 2x4x5' tent (Lighthouse) that has no problem holding my light(s), inline fan and carbon filter. To boot, I usually have my extra lights, pots, soil, nutes and everything else on top of the tent. I've never had an issue, and there doesn't appear to be any stress on the joints at all.

ps. how my setup is... filter connected directly to inline fan inside the tent, ducting to cooltube, ducting from cooltube to outside of tent. Essentially, the air is sucked through the filter and blown through the cooltube to outside the tent. I don't have a silencer, but the logical choice would be to put it after the fan but before the cooltube(s) if you use the setup I've described.

Thanks for the reply. Is it better to have the fan before or after the cool tube?
I was going to do it filter--cooltube--cooltube--fan--silencer --out.
Well i'm going to get another round steel tube today to hang the filter off. Possibly a little thicker tube than the ones supplied with the tent.
Hopefully get some pics up tonight as well.
I've heard someone say that when they put the fan before the tube their globe rattles or vibrates. Do you have this happen on your setup?
